Despite the fresh wind to start the day, 56 XC riders fronted up to tackle the challenging 7km course set by our resident XC Coordinator, Dean K, as well as a half dozen kids that had a fun ride around Dallas’ loops.

What stood out the most about the riders in the main race was the number of Juniors that fronted up – this is fantastic to see and full credit goes to all of the efforts put in by our own HMBA Coaches ably lead by Paula, Coleen, Dallas, Sarah and Alicia, plus Jason English, Damien and Jenny from Bike and Fitness, and Steve and Leanne from Momentum is your Friend – the future of racing in the Hunter looks strong.

Today’s course was a great example of why you should come along and take part in these events – riding Wayne’s World backwards is a real hoot and something that you only get to do when the track is closed for racing – same goes for Little Falcon Rd (hands up if you know where that is – bet you’ve ridden it a hundred times without realising its name) and Jenkins Rd beyond the DH carpark. Tag along next time for the ride!
